Yes 4.10's are the way to go

drazga97 · May 5th, 2008, 11:13 PM

yeah 3:73s are nice but arent nearly enough unless you have F/I and even then they arent enough sometimes. i can tell already that im going with 3:90s or 4:10s.... i know this question is asked about 40 billion times but ive seached for 3:90s and what are the rpms at in 5th doing 70 vs 4:10s...... that will probably decide which one i go with.

the 4:10s wont kill your mpg like youd think unless you are always going 70-80 mph on ur daily commute. plus you'll get to the gas stations faster.

Um, no.

They make your power more effective.

Think of it this way:

Stock gears are like having a breaker bar with a 3.27 foot handle. Aftermarket gears are like having a 4.10 handle. The longer handle doesn't make you stronger, it just gives you more leverage with the strength you already have.

thats a good metaphor. lol. yea...you guys are right...4.10s. i bought a v8 mustang for power...not gas mileage...where would you guys buy your gears from?? would 4.10s still leave me enough low end to burn out? also would i need a tune after gears?

Get Ford gears ONLY.

4.10s will effectively give you TREMENDOUS amounts of low end, and PLENTY to do burn outs... More than you had before.

You won't need a tune, but you will need a new speedo gear.

How old are you? You should still be able to do 125-130+.

Drtbkercr5 · May 6th, 2008, 10:13 AM

18, why? not that i go that fast anyway, but you never know

Drtbkercr5 · May 6th, 2008, 10:13 AM

i would have the 8.8 rearend correct?

stang94 · May 6th, 2008, 10:27 AM

lol, you already have 8.8 dude. these guys are right, get 4.10 Ford Racing Brand ONLY, and the gears to correct your speedo.

Drtbkercr5 · May 6th, 2008, 10:31 AM

i dont care about my speedo. its off anyway from the 18" rims. do i need an install kit to or do i let the mechanic worry about that?

stang94 · May 6th, 2008, 11:29 AM

From the way you sound, fine someone good to do it for you, lol... It's not a really simple DIY kind of thing if you are not really mechanic incline. I STRONGLY suggest to get the correct speedo gear to correct your speed, you'll be WAYYY off, it's only like $20 i think

deedub97GT · May 6th, 2008, 12:43 PM

96-98 dont have a mechanical speedo we need a tune to fix our speedo dont we

Oh probably, I wouldn't be sure, I had 94.

You might be correct though, a tune or software or something might be able to fix that, ask in that section, you'll know for sure.

Drtbkercr5 · May 6th, 2008, 02:28 PM

im actually very mechanicly inclined. just havent messed with gears...

your speedo is gear driven not electrically driven.

95blackbeauty · May 6th, 2008, 03:35 PM

take it some where...Better to have it done RIGHT once then to pay for it twice. Gears for sure, If you have any cash left maybe like CAI or pulleys.

Drtbkercr5 · May 6th, 2008, 03:39 PM

yea. im going to get a quote on gears. i guess i just got my tax refund and stimulus check today. hehe...i can get some stuff

No, we still have mechanical speedo - you'll need the right gear to correct it. They're different colors, I forget which you'll need, but they're less than $20 each.
